Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I've wanted to try Pad Thai for some time and forgot there's a Thai restaurant in the next town. I bought a box of it from Trader Joe's a few years ago but I didn't really think too much of it. So yesterday I finally went to the restaurant.
I was underwhelmed initially. I did not care for it at 1st as there is an underlying strong flavor I don't know or like but then as I ate more I really started to enjoy it. I think the egg and noodle combination was very satisfying! This was Vegetable Pad Thai. I could eat it again but I probably won't get it again unless I stumble upon a different restaurant. I suspect that flavor may be a spice used in a lot of Thai food. No idea what it was.
Since I never had Egg Foo Young I suspect that I'd like it as that combination of rice and eggs would have that same satisfying aspect. I'm going to try Vegetable Egg Foo Young this weekend. I love Chinese food but for some reason never tried this dish.
I had Japanese twice and detested it both times. I'll never ever eat that again period. Such over powering pungent flavors that were actually disgusting, may have been the sauce and I know I don't care for sea weed.
Vietnamese I don't like. I used to work with 2 guys from Vietnam and they were very nice. One made what he called Vietnamese Ravioli and they were excellent. They took me out a few times to a local Vietnamese restaurant in the city where we worked and said it was the best in an area where there were quite a few. I was polite and told them it was good and I liked it but it was not that good, I really disliked it. I'd never eat Vietnamese again either.
I mention all this cuz I sort of expected to have the same feeling about Thai. So far it's a bit better than Vietnamese, I could eat the Pad Thai again but nothing is worse than Japanese to me. I eat all kinds of foreign cuisines and love new foods but Japanese and Vietnamese I really don't like.
The verdict is out on Thai but I think I see where this may be headed! We'll see.
